kaua in having chosen and retained
dishonorable, small man for his prime
minister from the Goth OF May, 1889, to
the 2jth OF June, 1857, who, with dia-
bollcal perndy and secretly encouraged by
Wodehouse, paved the way to English en-.
croachments In Hawaii, giving for base OF
operations the pretext for protecting the
interests Of the Englshmen who contributed
to the loan OF $?,OOO,OOO to the Hawaiian
government. King Kalakaua having been
for over five wears under perncious In
nuences, has no longer individuality, and
being surrounded by natives who have no
brains nor yalor, he is entirely at
the mercy OF the Honolulu rifles
ministers forced on him, who are
Irish Orangemen and Engllshmen controlled
by the English consul Therefore, the
the doomed King kalakaua cannot offer
any resistance 10 British arrogance, In.
trigucs, menaces, and encroachments, and,
shameiully deserted by his former fictitious
friends aud natterers, some Of them, In
stead Of remaining in Honolulu aud bravely
facing the storm, cowardly running away,
and being now In San Francisco consplrlng
against the king, after having mlsled, be-
trayed, and plunderod him aud his well de.
serving race. Poor Kalakaua must In
gloriously sink II the United States does
not come to his rescue, and the day is not
distant when the august Italian monarch
Ilumbert / and his able prime minister, Sig
nor Francesca Crlspi, will notify England
that the Italian fleet is at is right place only
irhe,, Il is against The British fleet.
The world will yet witness, In a period OF
time less than half century, that England
will be considered power not superior, II
not inferior, to that Of Holland Of the pres
ent time, and, unlamented, will continue
the route of her downfall until to zero,
like her ancient prototype, Carthage.
The Pacific ocean, with its shores from
Cape Horn, south, to the strait OF Behrlng,
north, on the American continent, and its
numerous islands, giving the products OF
the torrid, tropical, and temperate zones,
by the opening of the Panama and Nicaragua
canals (this last Is the enterprise which
is first in the thoughts OF our distln
guished friends, Admiral Daniel Ammen
and Chief Engineer Menocal), will b. lhe
grand factor and road OF the commerce Of
the universe from the Occident to the
Orient and vice versa. San Francisco will
be the clearing house of the western ter
minus, Shanghai of the eastern, aud lloao-
lulu OF the intermediary point.
The Pacific ocean, its islands, and that
part Of the continent Of Asia which is oppo.
site to that Of America-vi2, the vast en-
pire of China, where the spirit of enterprise
OF the Americans will find an uuexplorel
and productive fleld-ought to attract the
serious attention OF the United States, and
there is no time to lose.
The American people must realize that
England Is In commercial war with all
nations. She knows full well the power
OF money and the effect of a change in our
tariff laws. She expects to-day, through
her diplomacy, to absorb the fisheries Of
both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans,
and through the emssares Of the Golden
Club, now In Washington city, to break
down our domestic and foreign trade
by inducing this Democratic administra.
tion 10 lead our country into the dangerous
dance Of free trade. Our supremacy upon
the Pacific has been lost by the refusal of the
Postmaster General to execute the law ap-
propriating $40O, 600 forcarrylng the mails on
that ocean, The interstate commerce law
has placed our interoceanic commerce
at the mercy Of the Canadian Pacific,
yet this administration is beguled and
blinded by ignorance, duplicity, and, the
English.American press Of New York city,
and induced to carry out policy that will
make the American laborers the vassals OF
English capital.
